You'll notice there are no POTF2 figures in my list. That's because I consider them the return to collecting and have too much respect for them -- without that line, we'd have nothing today. But anything after that is fair game because Hasbro had time to figure out what they were doing.

SAGA Ponda Baba (Cantina Scene) - yay, he can bend his knees! But when he stands, he's a knock kneed looking POS. I know he's based on a POTF2 figure that I said I respect, but these were release 5 or 6 years apart!

TSC Boba Fett (Sarlaac Pit) - a neat idea, but he looks ridiculous if you try to stand him without his flames. And I'd rather have no articulation at his arms than the terrible combo of swivels at his elbows.

And finally: any figure with swivel elbows -- I HATE them, one turn and they fall apart. Never sacrifice durability for articulation.

1. Peasant Disguise Anakin from 2002, were that many people really nostalgic for 1970's extending lightsabers? Also, the pose, like he's missing a horse accessory. Mine is used, I didn't even get the good crate accessory!

2. Force flipping Obi-Wan Kenobi, midget with magnets on his feet that looks less like Ewan McGregor and more like Bill Maher.

3. Whacky spin attack ROTS Yoda (Might give it a pass but for those feet!)

4. One that I don't own (thankfully):They even reissued that monstrosity!

5. They wasted new tooling making Han Solo with an orange harness. So he could have an absurdly 1990's big gunned jet pack.

An early disappointment in POTF2...he may not be the worst, but was disappointing enough to at least make dishonorable mention:I'lll never undertand the useless right hand. It's not open, it's not a fist...it doesn't match up with any movie scene.

Ugh...just looking at some of these is painful. While I don't really put the POTF2 guys in the "failure" pile, they we OK for the time. Not great, but they fit into the line.

However, the action feature stuff from AOTC almost made me quit collecting. I remember my heart sinking horribly when I first saw those. I was just crused. They are just not what I want from an action figure. At all.

But you know what? Hasbro listened to us. We have super articulation on many figures. We have mostly neutral poses, and well made soft goods.

I am very happy my worst of suggestion was taken up, it's too funny of a topic not to take up.

I put some thought behind my choices so here goes my top 10:

1. POTJ Fode and BeedIf there is one figure I absolutely despise it's Fode and Beed. Hate takes effort but this guy is worth the energy. I remember cringing in my seat the first time I saw him in theaters (and on the pegs). This character is so Lucas indulgence it's embarrassing. The design is so half-assed and so non SW looking, it looks like something that crawled out of the Croft Puppet universe. Seriously, this thing came out of a bad 70's acid trip. He voice is also so Hanna Barbara ridiculous that when you look at the whole package I think he has truly earned the title of "Worst SW Character EVER!"

2. Joh YowzaLike that two headed Croft puppet above I cringed the first time I saw this bad CGI cartoon in theaters during the Special Edition blitz. I hated the fact that they changed the Lapni Nek song. We began to see the E1 warning signs here as the flannelled one decided to stuff in so many dreadful characters into the Max Rebo band. Kenner thinking fans would embrace these new abominations made figures of most of them. They flopped, even on the recent rerelease. I bought this figure because I was desperate for new stuff in 98 and I hated him ever since. I just purged him a few months ago so I am happy to say I am Joh Yowza-less.

3. RappertunieWhy Lucas, why? A pot bellied Kermit that's way too colorful and puppety. Bad CGI or bad puppet, what to choose…..Please redeem yourself Lucas remove this scene in the Blue Ray and go back to basics.

4. Female Tusken RaiderI hate this figure and the entire premise of it, it's too far from the look of a Tusken Raider. It's also too much information. When it comes to SW leave some things to the imagination. I did not need to see, let alone get a figure of, a Female Sand person. Ahh Sand People babies that want to club your brains in. Ewok babies YES! Tusken Babies NO! It's just dumb all around and this figure is a Salt n' Pepper shaker to boot. I have so many more reasons as to why I despise this figure but I rather move on.

5. GragaLike Fode and Beed this friggin Muppet gives me flashbacks of cringing during my first viewing of EP1. (These two characters embody what was wrong with EP1.) This alien design is so dumb and Muppety. It has chicken feet/legs, old lady bat wing arms, a Bom Vidam walnut embedded in it's noggin, a puppety mouth and says Whoopi Whoopi. The figure is a Pepper shaker and should never have been made. (This is why it boggles my mind as why anyone would want Ben Quadrous.)

6. Every Blue & Purple Holo figure STOP! Please, just stop. No more blue or purple holo figures just keep them as accessories. (Make all Force spirits like the 2004 Obi-wan.)

7. Bespin Guard "Schnozarelli" from Carbon Freezing chamber setSo we were given an inaccurate but very detailed decent Bespin Guard figure in the modern line for the first time in 2001. He was quickly followed up by this kit bashed Bespin Guard that looked like one of those naked people with an outfit painted on their body. Too boot his nose is huge! Why did they not just put a new head on the 2011 Bespin Guard?

8. Exploding GrievousI get kid oriented figures, sometime the features are neat as long as they work. When you have a figure that falls apart if you breathe on it takes the fun away. You also need an adult to reassemble him. Many kids cried when they opened this figure and it's a safe bet that this one will never be released again.

9. Marvel Tarkin (Stormtrooper gets an honorable mention)Just look at this figure. I do not need to comment any further.

10. Lucas FamilyNow this is the item that actually got me to join Jedidefender. I hated this set so much I needed to vent so I joined my first forum in 2006. I trashed it so harshly that I did not give the best first impression with the members here. Jesse James came to my defense and gave me some good advice on forum posting. I will not go harsh as I did in 2006, I learned how to write a lot better and forum ettiquite so I will just leave my comment at this set being a major Lucas indulgence with a huge touch of Hasbro groveling.

Honorable Mention: Spirit AnakinIt's like a forgotten figure from Princess of Power. This sparkling Goldmember enchants those who lay eyes on him! Why is he gold? I have no idea but it always surprises me why they do not match all Spirit figures like the 2004 Obi-Wan, he still looks amazing to this day!
